About this place
Most organised tours bundle the Manavgat Waterfall into a 7-hour boat trip and bazaar day — a private transfer takes you directly to the waterfall and back, on a schedule you set.
Manavgat Waterfall (Manavgat Şelalesi) sits on the Manavgat River 3 km north of Manavgat town and 5 km from Side, making it the closest major waterfall to the Side/Manavgat hotel strip. The falls are wide and low — roughly 2–5 metres in drop — but remarkable for the unusual turquoise-green clarity of the water and the sustained year-round flow fed by underground springs. Willows, sycamores, and poplars shade the surrounding woodland; ducks and coots paddle the calmer sections. Viewing platforms, riverside restaurants, shaded picnic areas, and gift shops surround the site. The entrance fee is nominal.
Most tourists encounter Manavgat Waterfall as one stop in an organised boat trip combining the Manavgat River cruise, the Thursday market (Manavgat Bazaar), and the falls — a 6–7 hour full-day package. For guests who have already done the boat trip, or who want to visit the waterfall independently as part of a morning or afternoon rather than a full-day commitment, a private transfer to the falls and back is the practical alternative. The site itself needs about 1–2 hours; the drive from Belek is under 45 minutes.
| Region | Duration | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Antalya City Centre | 60–70 minutes | 75 km |
| Lara / Kundu | 55–65 minutes | 65 km |
| Belek | 35–45 minutes | 45 km |
| Side / Manavgat | 10–15 minutes | 8 km |
| Kemer | 80–95 minutes | 110 km |
| Alanya | 55–65 minutes | 62 km |
Approximate durations under normal traffic conditions. Side/Manavgat is the closest region — the waterfall is practically local. Kemer guests must travel east through Antalya, making this the longest journey from any region.
4 key benefits
Benefit 1
The dominant commercial product for Manavgat Waterfall is the full-day boat trip: Manavgat River cruise, bazaar, waterfall, BBQ lunch — departing hotels at 08:15 and returning around 17:00. If the boat trip and bazaar are on your agenda, the package works well. If you have already done those, or simply want to visit the waterfall for a couple of hours, a private transfer is the only way to do it without joining a 7-hour programme.
Benefit 2
From Side you can reach the waterfall by dolmuş — change in Manavgat town, then a second dolmuş marked 'Şelale' departing every 15 minutes. From Belek, Antalya, Alanya, or Kemer, no direct dolmuş serves the waterfall. A private transfer from Belek covers the 45 km in under 45 minutes with no changes.
Benefit 3
Manavgat holds a major Thursday market (the Manavgat Bazaar) that draws visitors from across the region. The roads around Manavgat town are significantly more congested on Thursdays, and the waterfall car park fills earlier than usual. A private transfer on a Thursday departs from your hotel at the time you specify — early enough to arrive before the bazaar traffic peaks.
Benefit 4
The tour operator product for Manavgat Waterfall is a full-day Manavgat River boat trip — a package combining a river cruise, the Thursday market, riverside BBQ lunch, and the waterfall as a final stop. It is a genuinely good day out for guests who have not done it before. The problem is that the waterfall is bundled into the full itinerary; you cannot book the boat tour and only attend the last hour.
For guests visiting Side or Belek who want to see the waterfall independently — or who have already done the boat trip and want to return — a private transfer to the site and back is the direct option. The waterfall site itself, with its restaurants, viewing platforms, and woodland paths, provides 1–2 hours of content without needing to build a full-day package around it.
For Belek guests, the waterfall is under 45 km away — a short morning excursion that is easy to combine with a beach afternoon. A private transfer there and back costs a fixed price with no group schedule and no 7-hour commitment. For Alanya guests making a 62 km trip, the flexibility to stay 1–2 hours or extend with a bazaar visit at booking is the advantage over an operator who sets the timetable.
The return from Manavgat Waterfall is where independent arrangements can stall. The site is 3 km north of Manavgat town on a dedicated approach road — there is no passing traffic, no taxi rank, and the dolmuş back to Manavgat town requires retracing to the main road. With a MovXtra return transfer confirmed at a fixed price, you walk out of the site at the agreed time and your driver is there. For Belek and Alanya guests making a 45–62 km trip specifically for the waterfall, that confirmed return is what makes the excursion straightforward.

From Belek hotels the journey takes approximately 35–45 minutes for the 45 km eastbound on the D400. Manavgat Waterfall is the closest major nature attraction to Belek, making it an easy half-morning excursion.
Allow 1–2 hours for the waterfall, viewing platforms, and a riverside drink. The standard MovXtra waiting time of 3 hours gives additional time for a meal at the riverside restaurants. If you want to combine with the Manavgat Bazaar or a boat trip stop, extra waiting time is flexible and can be arranged at booking.

Manavgat Waterfall is 3 km north of Manavgat town on a dedicated approach road.

A MovXtra pre-booked return is confirmed for the time you choose.
